Feel awful

God these last 2 days I feel so sick I don't even want to eat. It's really not like me as I've been a ravenous pig pretty much throughout the pregnancy. I just feel like I'm gonna throw up any minute.

Also I have so much pain in my lower back, lots of pressure down below and get sharp pains in the bottom of my bump when I move positions. I am also getting sharp pains down my thighs sometimes when I walk. I don't like to moan but I am just so fed up now. I can't lie or sit without being in pain. I can never remember feeling like this last time. I know it will all be worth it to bring another little boy into the world.
